Build issues aside, would people suggest 2/3 in Rain of Fire or Focused impact? I am going to test this to see if there is some merit.

Without reading through any threads, I made a very similar build while brainstorming around similar aims in mind. I eventually decided on another version with a more guarding aspect in mind. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801GRGb00bZZbIbbdGbM.1 What do you think? (I have only read the OP at this stage)

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801GRGb00bZZbIbbdGbM.1 I start my spec idea on the notion that +30% crit dmg is too much to pass up in assault for anyone with Eliminator 4 pc set bonus (+15% crit chance on HiB]. For me, this means I need to set my builds with 22 in Assault. I tried 21/2/18 for some time now, being moderately happy, but not quite enjoying the balance of guard v burst/dps. List of differences against 21/2/18 You get: +30% crit dmg on HiB 30 second reduced CD on Recharge cells +6% dmg on HiB, Stockstrike, Hammer shot under most normal circumstances (IR is applied) You lose Immobilisation with stealth scan and harpoon (Without the -10sec cooldown reduction on harpoon, this talent loses power through lack of application) 25% dmg on ion cell and shock duration reduced by 3 seconds (It feels marginal whenever I use it) Storm an Undoubtedly big loss, and one which is very difficult to lose. Another interrupt, and a gap closer is hard to give up. 2/3 Rain of fire or 2/3 Focused Impact? (I have not tested this out yet, but any feedback with the 22 points in Assault in mind would be most welcome)

Interested in trying this spec, but feel hamstrung by my choice to get the Elim set. I feel as though with the 4 piece set, I need to get 18 in assault. Would you feel the Elim set with this would not be as efficient as the 21/2/18?

Before I get my hopes up, is a rollback possible or indeed with precedent? Have other mmo's in recent time done this when a gamebreaker came with a patch?
